The Grip Strip keeps you safe while driving

We use our phones while driving far more often than we should. It is our GPS, way of asking Auntie what the directions are, texting our friends, and method of looking up local eateries around our destination. However, we do this while we’re driving a one-ton death machine. If you want to keep your phone out of your hands, but still need it to find your way, then you’ll want a mount of sorts to keep it within your field of vision, without having it in your grasp.

The Grip Strip is a sticky pad for your dashboard that will keep your phone in place. It’s made of a polymer compound that will keep pretty much whatever you stick on it in place. While it is primarily meant for navigation systems or flat-backed phones, this would also work for pens, sunglasses, and pretty much anything else you want to keep in place. Well, maybe not your coffee, as that is never going to go well.

It’s resistant to water, high temperatures, sunlight, and if it starts to lose its stickiness, just wipe it down with a wet towel. It is not recommended that you stick this to any airbag panels, for what seems like obvious reasons. Thankfully, this shouldn’t stain or leave a residue, and that should work both ways. Getting one of these will cost you around $12, while getting a back of three will cost around $30. You’ll have the option of getting these in red, black, or blue.
